Imperial Court de Fort Worth/Arlington

Imperial Court de Fort Worth/Arlington The Court system is a social-community service organization founded in San Francisco in 1965. The court is open to any and all persons of our community.

Rooted in “Camp” tradition, it uses titles like Emperor and Empress. Monarchs are elected yearly, and Coronation is the annual gala where leadership is passed. We are the local Fort Worth / Arlington chapter of the International Court System (ICS), a social-community service organization, which originated in San Francisco nearly 50 years ago and now has nearly 70 chapters throughout the United Sta

tes, Canada and Mexico. The Imperial Court de Fort Worth/Arlington has been in existence since January 1979 and is the oldest of the seven Courts in the State of Texas and a proud member of the United Courts of Texas. We give financial support to service organizations in our community such as the AIDS Outreach Center, the Samaritan House, Cancer Care Services, Health Services of North Texas, MHMR Visions and many others. We have service projects like our monthly dinner at Samaritan House, our annual Breakfast with Santa for children in our community and others. We partner with other local organizations like the Fort Worth Chapter of TGRA, the Cowtown Leathermen, the Trinity River Bears and the Tarrant County Gay Pride Week Association. No one in our Court System receives any monetary gain form his or her active involvement. The rewards of active involvement cannot even be appreciated until you have experienced the feeling of being there where your help is most needed. This in itself is fundamental to the continued growth and success of the Court. The new ideas and fresh approach keeps the Court vibrant and positive. It is your Court.... Get involved!! If you are interested in helping out the Court you can either email us at [email protected] just come by one of our shows. Our Current Month's Calendar of Events is listed on the Court Calendar page. If you do not live in the Fort Worth/Arlington area and want to see if you have a court in your own area drop us a line [email protected] and we will see who you need to contact for your area. Hope to see you again real soon....
